In EVERY STATE that homosexual marriage has been placed on the ballot, the voters in those states DEFEATED it.

That was true until 2012, when it won in Maine, Maryland, and Washington state. I have no doubt it would win in California, if it went to a vote again.

American attitudes are shifting left. We need to win Americans over to Conservative values if we're going to reverse this.

I don't know if it'll ever be possible to reverse it, but it's crucially important to understand how we lost this issue if we want to win the next one. The biggest problem I see is that we keep taking to ourselves rather than engaging the rest of the county. Which is why people keep posting here that gay marriage has never won a popular vote anywhere.
